The Starling 20 - Black Openweave

I was skeptical about raffia for a loafer, but the openweave pattern makes these feel surprisingly structured yet breezy. The soft mesh lining is a game-changer—no socks needed, and they still look sharp for the office.

The openweave raffia feels incredibly light on my feet, and the soft mesh lining means I can wear these all day without any rubbing. I’ve already gotten compliments on the handcrafted detail, and they breathe so well for warmer days.

The raffia weave is tighter than I expected in person, which is a good thing—it still looks dressy but feels like I'm wearing slippers. I've gotten compliments on the texture every time I've worn them, and that soft mesh lining really keeps my feet cool on warmer days.
